Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you'd predicted?
Actually, I had a lot higher hopes than what I managed to write this year. It felt like I wrote more than I did and it’s a little disheartening, but I will aim to rectify that in the upcoming year.
What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January?
NEO! Followed very closely by all that Sehun/Luhan fic.
What's your own favorite story of the year?
Definitely We Twist And Turn Where Angels Burn because I got a lot more descriptive, trying to let the scenes add to the mood instead of expressly voicing the emotion. I also enjoyed the AU that I based it off of and I’ve fallen in love with the setting.
Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them?
Is taking on too many exchanges a risk? Because I feel that everything I wrote was either an exchange fic or a drabble to clear my head from writing an exchange fic before I went crazy. I tested my sanity and I have learned not to do that again. Ever.
Do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the new year?
Having my highest posted fic at only just under 11 thousand words is really upsetting. I'm better than that and it's something to definitely work on. I want to expand my fics, build the worlds and create more intricate characters.

From my past year of writing, what was…
My best story of this year: HAS NOT BEEN POSTED BECAUSE I NEED TO FINISH IT AND I AM A FAIL WHALE!
My most popular story of this year: How Oh Sehee Lands Park Chanyeol by a landslide. (And I honestly have no idea why.)
Most fun story to write: Probably Position and Positioning because of my love for the setting and how bratty I got to make Sehun before finding himself under Minseok’s control.
Story with the single sexiest moment: I’m going to have to go with either Fair Play because pegging or How Oh Sehee Lands Park Chanyeol because that entire thing was super sexy.
Most "holy crap, that's wrong, even for you" story: ALL THE SELU!
Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters: (You Drive Me) Crazy definitely because it was the first time I really got to play with Yixing. Even after writing in his pov in a drabble before, I opened up more to him as a character in this fic and I feel a lot more comfortable with Yixing now.
Hardest story to write: Probably Balance The Beast because it was my first time really delving into Jongdae’s personality and he’s such a complex person that it was a challenge to get it right.
Biggest surprise: Sunday probably because it’s kinda character death (but not really).
Most unintentionally telling story: idk if I have one of those
Favorite Opening Lines / Introductions:
I would gladly make a list of these if I thought I’d written any that stood out. Sadly, I think I’ve discovered a weak spot in my writing - introductions.
Favorite Closing Lines:
-“I’m getting a bigger dick to shove up your ass next time, you fucker.” - Fair Play
-There's a collar in Jongdae's hand - the white one with silver studs that he'd seen before. He's so certain, so positive that Joonmyun will finally wear it that he's unprepared for the sneer across Joonmyun's handsome face when he spies the leather.
"Did you learn nothing last time? I am not your pet."
Jongdae sighs, dropping the collar on the counter and giving up. He has a long way to go before he figures out this finicky feline.
“Although,” Joonmyun begins with a lilt to his voice that sends a shiver up Jongdae’s spine. As Jongdae waits for Joonmyun to finish, he feels the collar being buckled around his own neck. “It’d be a shame to let something so pretty go to waste.” - Pocketful Of Sunshine
-“The dog is broken!” Tao yells and then adds as an afterthought, “I didn’t do it!” - A Place For My Head
-Yifan does not expect everything to be perfect; he is not that naive. Yet for the moment, he feels as if happily ever after is tickling over his fingertips and he is about to reach out and grasp it tight. - We Twist And Turn Where Angels Burn
-"KIM JONGIN!" Kyungsoo yells as he catches a wall beginning to fall toward Joonmyun. "STOP MESSING WITH CHANYEOL'S DICK!" - Taking Flight
Favorite 5 4 Line(s) from Anywhere:
-“Yes, dainty,” Yixing repeats with a laugh. “You look positively dainty with a cock in your mouth.” - Action!
-"Now if you'll excuse me," he says, gesturing at the door for Minho to leave, "I have two boys in ball gowns to go rescue from papa-dragon." - Escape Measures
-“Why couldn’t we have done this inside - in the air conditioning?”
“I like watching you sweat,” Baekhyun answers without hesitation, a smile pulling at his lips while he stirs his coffee. - [Not Exactly] A Harlequin Romance
-It’s not often when any of them mark Jongin, but when they do, it’s all at once. Yifan is just the beginning. It fills Jongin with a sense of belonging - knowing that he is theirs and no one else’s. Relationships in the group are like liquid, members flowing from one to the other without sticking around for long, but they all come back to Jongin and it’s never disappointing. - Up All Night To Get Lucky
Top 5 Scenes from Anywhere You Would Choose to Have Illustrated:
-The scene in Coming Up From Behind when Yifan is changing Minseok's bandages and leans in to almost kiss him.
-The scene in (You Drive Me) Crazy when Yixing and Minseok are in the open market, dancing and about to kiss for the first time.
-The scene in Dragontouched when Jongin is on Minseok-as-a-dragon’s back, ready to take flight and to their first battle with Sehun on dragon-Luhan in the background.
-The scene in the beginning of I Need To Lose Myself Tonight when Lu Han is driving and Sehun is sprawled out over his seat and the center console, sleeping on Lu Han’s arm.
-A scene from A Taste Of What You Paid For where Luhan is behind the counter with all the little bottles of emotion in their glass display behind him.
New year's resolutions:
Chill out with the exchanges and focus on my own ideas. Also, finish these damn nanos.
